Harvey & John visit
John and Harvey and I go back decades. They were my upstairs neighbors in Brooklyn at one point and moved back to California after years in New York City within months of me while either of us knowing the other was moving. I have since seen them many times in the Bay Area and in various parts of southern California. Harvey took most of these pictures, so unfortunately we have any with him!

Alex First Post-Covid Visit
Alexandra and her boyfriend Davy visited us for the first time since the start of the Covid era. We drove around to the Bolinas area and stopped in a very cool wooded park downtown nearby, then went on to Mount Tam’s lookout. Eventually, we went to the beach and enjoyed a beautiful evening with our two younger dogs and our guest dog Fluffly. We stopped for a snack in town as well. It was a lovely day with sightseeing in some of the corners of California many rarely venture to.
Happy Birthday Gaia!
Gaia is my cute little cousin (once removed) in Italy who is studying English and who we got to spend a lot of time with during our last trip to Italy (before Covid). She has been good about sending us voice messages on Whatsapp and staying in touch even though she was painfully shy when we first saw her. Here is our video message for her birthday, which I understand thrilled her:
Cousin Reunion
My cousin, Brenda Hayden, visited us and we had a wonderful reunion after FIFTY YEARS! She is from the Bay Area also and now lives in Washington.
